Red Baron's WWI German Fokker triplane rebuilt by flying enthusiast

Aviation enthusiast Paul Ford has built himself an exact replica of the Red Baron's Fokker triplane. He spent endless hours, and £180,000 on the aircraft - and it's now available for passengers to take part in mock dog-fights. The original Fokker Dr1 Dreidecker, a German World War One fighter plane, was made famous by Manfred Von Richtofen, 'The Red Baron'. He downed at least 70 allied pilots until his death in 1918.

Prachtig hoor! Wel een beetje slordig dat ze het over 70 ipv 80 kills hebben...
